CRAFT ETC
This week has been fairly quiet.  I've managed some more crochet on this cute coffee and cream blanket...



I baked some vegan banana and oat cookies which are incredibly easy and super tasty with vegan chocolate buttons in -picture to follow next week due to time issues...

I have gamed a lot, especially on Love Live School Idol Festival, where I got 2 super cute Eli cards (among others) ...




I'm getting close to finishing PriPara-yes I've got a Falulu hairstyle)...

 It may have been a restful week, but I've been productive game wise!
